Has anybody seen this type of machine buildt in LEGO?

Or does anybody out there know of any links with pictures of the real thing?

What I'm talking about is a three wheeled car/motorcycle where the body of
the car/motorcycle lean invard when turning around corners.
I think Mercedes made one a few year back, but can't find any link to it.
And I have just seen one presented at a TV-show with cars. But I did not
catch the name of the machine.

If it is a car or a motorcycle I dont know. It has three wheels, all of them
open like on a motorcycle, but is has a cockpit where the driver (and
passenger) sits. It is that cockpit/body that tilts sidewise.

Any hint for information about this is welcome.

(...) I think you mean the Carver. It was just presented in the BBC program TOPGEAR. Here is a link: (URL) does look cool to drive! Mark (21 years ago, 13-Jul-03, to lugnet.technic)

The APAX tricycle is probably not quite what you meant, but it's still cool, and it does lean when it turns. (URL) the mechanism is all exposed and visible, so it might be easier to build in Lego. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jul-03, to lugnet.technic)
